FABBY: Thanksgiving in the Breakfast Table

Hello sweet friends! I said I was gonna share my breakfast table ready for Tksgiving and here it is set for four guests.I used the dishes made back at our Ceramic Co., Monte Turi. The dishes were inspired in the indigenous people of Ecuador, beautiful hand embroidered apparel. I also designed these patterns and we had 14 pattern desigs and had them hand decorated entirely, besides the fact that they were also 'hand-made' by a Potter's Wheel...for some who don't know what that is, it's just like what Demi Moore was doing in the movie Ghost. These dishes are multi-colored, but predominantly orange and some cobalt blue in the plate's edges, therefore, I used my newest blue water stems and sherbets to match.And last, but not least, I chose my beige openwork tablecloth, as the friends that have followed me know I bought it on sale back in July at 50% off. Ok, here you have it.

The hand made and hand decorated dishes from our former Ceramic Co. I explained about them at the heading of this post.

The lovely tablecloth with the openwork I bought with a 50% off on sale back in July.

The blue water stems I bought a dozen around a month ago, along with the blue sherbets to match...always thinking for my blue and white dishes.

Each place setting has a wicker and cane chargers.

I always find cloches a great centerpiece for a small tables, because they hardly takes up any space, specially if they're raised, like here.

I love the pattern on the dinner plate with the orange center.

Dinner plate, salad plate and bread plate.

To elevate the cloche with the gourds and small pumpkins I used a cake pedestal from the same china.

The candle holders are also part of the china.

This station is set in the marble pull out tray from the antique Belgium buffet, which is a detail the antique pieces had. I'm sure you can hardly see them, but the espresso Peruvian antique spoons are sterling with jade, and were my Mil's.The cups are small demitasse for espresso coffee for after Tksgiving dinner. Notice the sugar bowl and creamer have ducks in the lids...so cute!

"It's beginning to look like Christmas" too, lol!

The amber wine glasses are Italian-Mario Santini... and I love them paired with the blue water stems.

Alejandro's grandparents English buffet is decorated for C'mas now. I'm really all decked out, so after the Tksgiving is over, C'mas will be all set to go at our house, lol!

The Christmas tea set was also made back at our Ceramic Co. I designed the pattern from a holiday piece of cloth. I have many pieces like this for the C'mas holidays.

Fabby- It looks just beautiful. i really love it. Your cutwork tablecloth is just a gorgeous backdrop for your lovely dishes. I hope you have a wonderful time with your friends at that table!

I have to tell you- the wedding I went to last weekend-our friend's mother came here from Ecuador. Her husband started the first YMCA there. I will have to find out her last name-I only know our friend's last name and her name is the family she married into here. I told the mother that I had a friend in Ecuador (through the internet) and that the family used to own a porcelain/dish factory. Oh- she said- what is their last name? I said- I don't know - she said- You don't know your friend's last name? lol She does not quite understand how blogging works-that you can be friends of the heart with no names attached.

Love those plates - although at the moment Im on the lookout for more neutral coloured plates for food photos - I love the brightly coloured ones but have decided that they often detract from the food. Cheers

Dearest Fabby,This is a perfect breakfast table setting for Thanksgiving.That pull out tray from the Belgian buffet is so clever!You have the most extraordinary pieces at your home and yes, I did notice that you already sneaked in an Angel for a Christmas mood...Hugs to you,Mariette

Fabby, Your breakfast table is gorgeous. Your beautiful ceramic plates are a marvelous interpretation of the colors and patterns of the festive fabrics that inspired them. You are so very talented. The Christmas tea set is setting the stage for the holiday festivities to come over the next month or so. I am so looking forward to seeing and reading your posts for Christmas. Have a blessed Thanksgiving.

As I suspected it would:) your table is just gorgeous! Love all the colors and different textures. I will be using a wicker charger too as I like the rustic, casual feel to them.

About Me

I'm retired... now, this gives me time for decorating and tablescaping which are my passion...I also love to entertain at home and cook for my guests, they're usually friends and family. I love family heirlooms, as they always have a beautiful story to tell. I'm crazy about dogs, I had a pug for almost 13 years who died April-2010, I still miss him very much, specially around the Christmas Holidays, but, I'm also crazy about my grandgirls, Victoria 11 and Cayetana 8 1/2, from DD Sofia and they're my total joy. We are also expecting another baby girl from DD Alexandra. I love baking cookies with the girls and decorating them too, specially the Christmas ginger cookies. I adore my hubby for 40 years, we've been married since 1975 and he is the most wonderful, smart, lovable and handsome man, ever! I'm very,very blessed by the Lord, I owe HIM all I have received, the home I love and my lovely and dear family. Bless you my wonderful friends and thank you for letting me know you and come into your lovely homes. God bless you and yours.
